state-controlled
Under public ownership
State-controlled describes something owned, operated, or heavily regulated by a government rather than private entities.
The term often carries implications of centralized authority or limited freedom: state-controlled media, state-controlled industries.
It appears frequently in discussions of authoritarian regimes or command economies, though democratic governments also maintain state-controlled sectors like utilities or transportation.
